The broad markets are pushing higher, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising above 21,000 this past week, and the S&P 500 has been holding steady just under 2,400. While the Dow has closed higher for weeks, the growth has been slower as of late. Earnings over the past month have helped to solidify these markets, although going forward we are in the doldrums of earnings.
However, some companies in this time could help move the markets higher. 24/7 Wall St. has put together a preview of the most anticipated quarterly earnings reports that are on deck for the coming week.
